The stand is a really nice piece of furniture. I know some other reviews have commented it's too white, but what we received looks exactly like it did on the website. Delivery and customer service was fabulous and the packaging was unreal to ensure it doesn't get damaged. 
As others have mentioned, the distressing is painted on. It's not noticeable on the doors, but the top you can tell it's been painted on in a pattern and it's raised a bit. We're going to sand it a bit to make it look a little natural but over all very happy!
